Patient Reviews

Apr 02, 2023

Very pleased with my recent Cataract surgery performed by Dr. Sheppard. I was a challenge to his staff due to my strong urge to blink during the pre-surgery measurement process. The staff was very patient with me and kept working until they were able to get the required measurements. I highly recommend Dr. Sheppard and his team.
